Redemption

Chapter 12

“Lynn, once you’re released from the hospital I have forty thousand dollars waiting for you as per our deal. I appreciate what you’ve done. I was just about to put my husband in my will and because of you that’ll never happen.”

She walked up to her so-called husband. “I own you. From this day forward you are not to see your son. You are not to sign his birth certificate. You are not to contact my best friend again. If you attempt to see Jonathan I will have your ass on the ten o’clock news.”

Glancing in the mirror she was startled. A woman with graying temples was staring at her with maliciousness.

“Can I help you?” Lynn asked.

“Are you the woman from the news that caused that beautiful gay couple such grief?”

“I don’t owe you an explanation for how I treated my son.”

“You’re right. But Harry is my son, bitch! I’m his mother, and you will answer to me if he dies.”
